Is Club Car still the Rolls Royce of Golf Carts?

-

 While Club Car golf carts have long been a staple on golf courses and in residential communities, it’s time to address the elephant in the room: these carts can be a major headache. Sure, they look sleek and are often seen zipping around the fairways, but behind that polished exterior lies a host of issues that can turn the joy of golf into a frustrating experience.

First and foremost, let’s talk about reliability. Club Car carts are supposed to be notorious for their lack of problems. But yet as we have these new club car carts, I am not seeing that being the case. Every day I have golf carts that don’t move and I have to pull fuses and put them back to get them to move. Why this works I still do not know, but I know it shouldn’t happen and they haven’t come up with a fix yet.

Then there's the issue of comfort. Many users have reported that the seating can be quite uncomfortable, and this is because the carts are literally coming apart There are many bolts and screws on these carts that have come loose overtime, and the seats have enough play in them to where they can almost recline. Not to mention the rest of the cart rattling as the rest of the bolts coming undone too. When you’re trying to relax and enjoy your game, the last thing you want is to be jolted around in a cart that feels more like a roller coaster than a leisurely ride.

Lastly, let’s not overlook the cost. While Club Car carts are a popular choice, the price tag can be steep, especially when you factor in the ongoing maintenance and repairs. It begs the question: is the convenience really worth the hassle?

In conclusion, while Club Car golf carts may have a strong presence on the market, the problems associated with them cannot be ignored. From reliability issues to uncomfortable rides and storage limitations, it’s clear that these carts can be more of a pain than a pleasure. Golfers deserve a better experience, and it might be time to explore alternative options that offer a smoother ride without the constant headaches.

D.A. Weibring, More than Just a Player

-
 D.A. Weibring is a name that stands tall in golf, not just for his successes on the PGA Tour, but also for his impact off the course. While Weibring won five PGA Tour titles, his contributions as a golf course architect have left an enduring legacy, most notably with the design of TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. Weibring’s connection to the John Deere Classic and the Midwest runs deep. Born and raised in Quincy, Illinois, he brought his local knowledge and passion for the region to the design of TPC Deere Run. In the late 1990s, when the PGA Tour needed a new home for the John Deere Classic, Weibring was a natural fit to lead the project. His vision was to create a challenging yet accessible course that would honor the landscape of the Midwest, while still being enjoyable for both pros and amateurs. Today, TPC Deere Run is a renowned stop on the PGA Tour and a course synonymous with Weibring’s name. Beyond his course design, Weibring’s business acumen has been just as impr...

Fewer Bogeys: The Path to Lower Scores

-
 For many golfers, achieving lower scores is about more than hitting longer drives or making spectacular shots—it's about avoiding bogeys and big numbers that add up quickly. Minimizing mistakes is often the simplest way to play better and enjoy each round more. Here’s how you can approach your game with intention and consistency to make fewer bogeys and keep your scorecard clean. Play Smart, Not Bold One of the quickest ways to lower your score is by playing smarter. Avoid risky shots that could lead to trouble; instead, aim for high-percentage targets. On approach shots, prioritize hitting the middle of the green rather than attacking the pin. This gives you a chance at par without the added risk. Stay Calm Under Pressure Bogeys and big numbers often result from trying to "save" a hole after an errant shot. Instead, take a step back and assess your options. If you’re in the rough or near a hazard, play conservatively to get back in play rather than attempting a hero sho...

Which is better: Blade or Mallet Putters

-
When it comes to choosing the right putter, golfers are faced with a seemingly endless array of options. But most putters fall into three main categories: blades, mallets, and high-MOI designs. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, sparking endless debate on which style reigns supreme. Blade Putters For the purist, blade putters are the ultimate choice. Sleek, simple, and steeped in tradition, they offer unmatched feedback and control. Players who pride themselves on precision love blades for their ability to reward a perfect stroke—but at a cost. They can be unforgiving, and mishits often stray far off target. Mallet Putters Mallet putters are the choice for golfers seeking stability. With a larger head and more weight distribution, they’re perfect for players who need help with alignment and maintaining a smooth stroke. Their forgiving nature makes them ideal for weekend warriors. However, purists often dismiss mallets as lacking the finesse and elegance of a blade. High-MOI Putt...
